Two of the strangest people you could ever meet end up as step brothers when thier parents marry. The laughs start at the opening credits and last the rest of your life. One of my favorite comedies of all tims

this was a very disappointing movie for me.the red
band(restricted)trailer i saw made it seem very funny,raunchy and
edgy.the reality is,it was none of those.i found it much too
tame,considering my expectations.a lot of what was in the trailer was
toned down.and i barely laughed.if you're expecting edginess,this is
not the movie you're looking for.there are a few crude and lewd
moments,and some crude language but nothing that hasn't been seen or
done before.i also thought the movie was slow,and on the verge of being
boring in some areas.you might like it if you're a Will Ferrel or John
C. Reilly fan.for me,though this was one very disappointing movie.i
give Stepbrothers a 2/5

Step Brothers is simply hilarious. Although the "grown man acting like a boy" concept is not exactly new, Farrell and Reilly make the formula a winning one. They play a couple of 40-year old losers who still live with their parents and haven't grown up yet. There's tons of vulgar gags and poopoo humour, if you're into that kind of thing. Laughs galore abound.

"Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free"
(Dire Straits)

Well - at least the money for nothin' part is applicable, if nothing else.

Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):

1. Will Ferrell plays Brennan Huff, a 39 year old unemployed man-child with arrested development who lives with his mommy (Mary Steenburgen)
2. John C. Reilly plays Dale Doback, a 40 year old unemployed only child with arrested development who lives with his daddy (Richard Jenkins)
3. Ferrell and O-Reilly make Owen Wilson and Matthew McConaughey look classy in similar slacker roles. (You, Me and Dupree , Drillbit Taylor , Failure to Launch )
4. The trouble begins when Brennan's mommy and Dale's daddy decide to get hitched, hence the title of the movie.
5. Extended period of hissy fits, pouting, potty humor, fart jokes, indecent language and bad behavior follows
6. Circumstances (and a restless audience) make it necessary for them to grow up in a hurry
7. Movie wraps up within minutes in total absurdity, the highlight being a lip-syncing performance of Andrea Bocelli's excellent "Con te partirò" (Time to Say Goodbye)

This was pretty much over for me in the early stages, as the "men will be boys" punch line wore thin very quickly. The writers opted to substitute crass humor and bad language for true comedy, and even though it has a few funny moments, many scenes are nothing short of cringe-worthy. This would have been better off as a SNL skit than a full length movie.

Bad, bad, bad. Watched it a few months ago with a few friends and remembered I hated it and had to suffer through till the end. Never again.

I am writing this review as I am watching the movie. What can I say? I guess the movie is intended for 12 or thirteen year olds, but i cant stand it. Is stupid movements, swearing and people getting hit with random objects funny. If it is then, i cant believe what the movie industry is coming to. I love comedy movies but i have not laughed at all through out this entire movie.

This is a movie about 2 40ish year old guys that still live with their parents. The parents get married, forcing the 2 40 year old step brothers to live together. Basically the 2 men act like they are still 10 year old kids and that's supposed to be funny. The movie is so bad I just shut it off about 1/2 way through. Anyone who likes this movie must not get out much. You want a great comedy, watch Waking Ned Devine. This was junk.

this is prob the best will farel movie i have ever seen. it is so funny you will laugh no madder what. i would watch it over and over again. i would recommend this movie to anyone that likes bad but funny humuor.

These guys are a classic, If you like Will Ferrell's movies you will love this one! Its amazing! Sometimes its boring but there is lots of laughter!

Sorry, but after reading the first inaccurate OPINION of the first person reviewing this movie, I felt I had to give it some justification.

My wife and I went into this movie with very low expectations. I personally thought it wasn't going to be very good, but I was way off. Step Brothers is a surprisingly smart comedy. Don't get me wrong, there is alot of toilet humor, but it goes hand in hand with what the movie is meant to be. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly were the perfect cast for it. Who else are you going to get to play a couple of 40 year olds with no sexual experience, unable to do anything for themselves and still living with their parents...?

Folks, don't get me wrong, this movie is as ridiculous as it gets. SHUT OFF YOUR BRAIN FOR IT... stop overthinking. It's an f'n movie! Take it for what it's worth, because it's a riot. I was seriously in tears watching it, because it's just completely over the top from start to finish. For two grown men to play spoiled little children to perfection like Ferrell and Reilly did is truly impressive. They did their homework. From sleepwalking, to pee swords, to "making sex" and everything in between, this movie is hilarious. I kid you not. But again, shut off brain.
